Jason Manford on Gary Barlow.
I didn't realise myself, but Gary Barlow and his wife has a baby girl at the beginning of the month who was, sadly, stillborn.
This is a slightly wordy reply to the people who slated him for performing at the closing of the Olympics, be they trolls, misguided or, simply, cunts.

Wow
What a well written, level-headed, reasonable response. And you say you found this on the internet?

I'm man enough to admit that I admire Gary Barlow.

He's his regular sunny self.
And I admit I love Gary, and Wobbie. Unlike other boy bands, they write their own stuff and play instruments.
Just because you're stuck in the "Do What You Want" era, doesn't mean that I can't mature gracefully.
Yub yoooo!

Why are celebrities even on Twitter or Facebook. What do they honestly expect.

This wasn't aimed straight at Barlow.
I don't know if he's on Twitter or Facebook or anything, and I can't say I'm a fan, but if your wife gave birth to a dead baby and you put on a brave face and fulfilled the duties you'd agreed to do so's you didn't let people down, and all you got for it was a line of people calling you a money-grabbing bastard, even if the work you'd done was unpaid, how would you feel? Honestly?

Oh some people are monumentally insensitive I completely agree.
But that's the point isn't it. There will always be twats. More so if you're successful.
Twitter and BookFace give these celebrities more intimate access to the public, so quite honestly I'm amazed they're not surprised at the kind of vitriol they get.
Better not to be on it, surely? What do they need it for? Promotion worked just fine before it. I see no use other than a hunger for adoration and the occasional 'hi, look at me... I have something of no value to say.'
Not unlike my facebook, in fact.

unquestioning adoration and, in Manford's case, low level sex chat

Haha, yes. This was the first thing that I thought.
Bet he's kicking himself that he lost that shitarse job on mind-numblingly tedious The One Show. Well done to the simpering wet blanket Matt Baker for exceeding the possible boundaries and actually helping to make the show even more awful.
